the #UK's Defence Minister @BWallaceMP has a message for #Russia and its people after yesterday's liberation of #Kherson and the whole region east of the River Dnipro.
The emotional de-occupation of #Kherson is just the start of a new chapter and some difficult decisions now need to be taken.
#Ukraine says it fears a big missile attack during the G20 summit next week. While places like #Mariupol and #Crimea now in range for Ukraine's artillery
A better video has emerged of the destruction of the #Antonivskyi bridge in #Kherson.
CCTV shows the moment of the enormous blast which finally brought down a section of the main route across the river Dnipro
Apologies. Earlier I posted video of damage to a bridge in #Kherson. It was of course not the #Antonivskyi but the the bridge over the #NovaKakhovka dam.
Any bridges in the region, even if already damaged by #Ukraine shelling, were brought down when #Russia fled.
Refugees from #Kherson have been celebrating all over the world - from near and far.
I know people who immediately moved to #Odesa, not that far away. This morning many gathered outside the world famous opera house in the port city.
I have good news - the stuff we bought with your donations crossed the border from Poland to #Ukraine late last night.
Hopefully it will arrive at the front line tomorrow.
You can see how much clothing etc. we got - the document is the border/customs document.
More gifts left behind by #Russia when they evacuated #Kherson oblast.
The Sun's journalists were shown this warehouse in #Blahodatne (RU: #Blagodatnoe) in the north of the territory, near the regional border with #Mykolaiv.
Good morning world! It's Day 1281, so it must be thread number 1281 (4205 since the start of the Crimea invasion)
Every day documenting the news, without gratuitous gore, and the war crimes as Russia continues its unprovoked all-out war against a sovereign neighbour.
If you missed anything on Tuesday, it's simple to catch up. Just click this link for the start of yesterday's thread and scroll down to where you last read and then continue reading through to the end.
But remember to come back here!
Welcome to Thursday's thread with all the important news on Russia's illegal war in Ukraine.
It's Day 1275 - the day Putin openly mocks Trump.
After China + India upped oil purchases, the indicted war criminal ordered his army to bomb a US company in🇺🇦
Let's begin:
Ukraine is recovering from the predicted massive overnight attack.
Russia launched more than 600 missiles and drones.
The mayhem started in the last third of yesterday's exhausting thread. If you missed it, click and scroll here:
It's Day 1274 of Ukraine's incredible defence of its people, land, culture + shielding many NATO states, next on Putin's hit-list from his long stated dream to reunite the USSR
Somehow Trump & his cults (I nearly misspelled that) seem intent on helping Putin.
Here's the daily🧵
Tuesday was another 50+ post thread, packed full of some more untold insights into Ukraine news and life, including the resurgence of Covid and a language 'foul' on the football field.
But politics and Russian atrocities are omnipresent.
Here's your link
Let me start with an unwanted shock for residents in Poltava, who were warned of a radiation threat this morning, I imagine sparking all sorts of horrific thoughts.
Thankfully, the governor says it was human error, Myrhorod should've had an air alert, not the radiation warning.
Zelenskyy's forced to be careful, but Ukraine's always been ready for the unconditional ceasefire Trump first demanded 5 months ago. So no surprise he's travelling to Washington on Monday
It's Alaska Day, or a couple of half-baked Alaskas meeting later as Russia hopes to carve up Ukraine, with Trump's approval.
That's much later on Day 1269 of Putin's war.
As I start this thread at around 02:30 GMT, 05:30 Ukraine, there is a big attack on Russia.
Let the🧵begin
In a rush to get to sleep, so let me waste no further time in giving the link to yesterday's thread.
Both X and BSky have been a bit crappy scrolling through threads. One thing you can do is click my profile and then "replies", click one + scroll up
Whoever said 7 days is a long time in politics was dead right.
An about turn from tough guy & threats to TACO queen & Putin's poodle. And the next 7 days is now set to bring another cosy meet between a felon and an indicted war criminal.
It's Day 1263 of THE Ukraine thread:
A later start to Saturday's thread because of a crazily late finish to the last🧵
Fewer than 20,000 views for the first time in weeks on such an important day🤨🤔
So much effort and so little impact some days 😢
